Consider This

Community colleges

In what looks like an effort to re-direct resources from Universities to Community Colleges, Rep. Kavanaugh has proposed requiring the universities to accept credit for all 100, 200 and 300 level courses taken by students at community colleges. If you're a GAT, you know what this could mean for your job. The teaching will shift locations, eliminating the need for the universities to pay tuition reimbursement and benefits. It also would siphon tuition dollars away, meaning less money to pay professors, GRAs and GATs in the future. Additionally, consider the difference between the type of experience and education offered by the two types of institutions.

Cuts

ASU's president explains the possible scenarios for a 5, 10, 15 or 20 percent cut, as mandated by the governor:

"The reductions of 5-10-15-20 percents [for ASU] would require layoffs of 740, 1,010, 1,280 and 1,550 professional staff, the university said."
